Recent Staff Promotions

[CTap 111]

If an Admin says they have been listening to our voices, and you disagree, make your own mature forum post, get signatures, and submit it. Don't point fingers like children with the accusations of "Nuh uh! You never listen!"

Silly boy. People have tried that multiple times, nothing happens.

Will we really have to lock this thread due to people not being able to act decent?

There is no matter of favouritism here. Rhia spoke to a few GMs - that doesn't affect the opinions of the entire GM and Administration team. The decisions to make Rhia and Jroy GMs wasn't taken by the GMs who speak to them - it was a decision made over a period of about a month. Why don't we - instead of prejudging - actually allow them to show us what they're capable of?

In regards to Goldrim's comment - the personal dislike some people harbour against Dusk isn't something that's gonna influence the decisions made. Dusk is a very capable member of staff, however people seem to grow opinions on her based on the rumours that a few spread - grow up, Dusk has proven she is capable of being a GM, and will continue to prove her worth as an administrator. The majority of people that voice their dislike on Dusk haven't had a first-hand experience with her, and base their opinions on a few idiots who claim things that aren't true.

Please, remain civil and allow the promoted staff members to show their capabilities. If they don't, then they won't be staff - will they?

With all respect intended it is our opinions. We have the right to stress them, No?

Give your opinions in a useful way, rather than in a totally useless and ridiculous manner such as simply stating that they shouldn't be staff. Actually show why, because currently to me it seems you just have a simple dislike towards Dusk due to personal reasons.

-Snip-

I guess that some would enjoy to see me leave and give up for what I am "fighting" for, but I won't, simply because I won't give up something that I love and have seen grow over the time that I have been here, I do not ask for sympathy but I ask for you to sympathize with the community, the people and cogwheel of LoTC.

I am the voice, and I will not be silenced until my ability to speak has been taken away.

In no way, was Goldrim's post immature, disrespectful, in no way.

Not one F-bomb, not one finger-point, not one "blaaah i paid money give me what i want"

type of rant, nothing.

Respect is something to be earned, if one trys to force it, they'll get the opposite in return.

What he said is a very nicely sugarcoated version of what a lot of people are thinking.

I'm not asking for us to be respected, I'm asking for us not to be disrespected.

And I will be the judge on what is respectful and disrespectful when aimed at my staff,

As for Dusk's promotion, becoming an Administrator means, looking over GM's, assisting teams and straying away from mod requests and costumer service. To those of you who don't like dusk as a moderator, perhaps her newly appointed back-stage presence will keep you from quarreling.

Be "the voice" in a useful way then, provide evidence and reasons - rather than useless statements.

I've actually had plenty of interaction with Dusk, and she really is very helpful, and a very skilled gm as far as I can tell. None of the things that I have heard about her ever turned out to be true when I looked into them myself.

I have no personal dislike against Dusk. I have seen that she is not a capable member of staff, through what I have heard(yes, rumors, but there are many of them, and most have nothing to do with ***********ing) and some of my own experiences.

In addition, what you call flaming I see as a desperate act for attention. Many threads about GMs are left unanswered by people in authority, GMs, Admins. There was no trace of flaming in the above posts.

Edit: I have found Dusk to be a good person. She was nice enough to accept my Mori application, and is in general an alright young woman. But this does not correlate to her staff abilities.

[Drelik 865]

I have no concern with Dusk's promotion, I honestly could care less. Im just a little disheartend that Goldrim was treated in such a way.

When you comment that one of the promotions was "laughable" you receive flak, from me.

[Cyndikate 2303]

I've heard a lot of insults about Dusk, and it was reason enough that it made me avoid her to not get banned. Ever since I started playing on the server, I always hear about her being the evil GM. But when I got the courage to actually talk to her, she wasn't so bad. She was pretty nice to me. :3

Grats Dusky!

Nobody has said that Rhia should not be a Gm. As far as I am aware. And Goldrim's comment is just his opinion. Also I have no dislike towards dusk at all. I personal agree with dusk being promoted. What annoyed me was shift treating people with warns for showing there opinion. I find this to be the perfect time to say your opinion and not one person has stressed it in a ridiculous manner and no-ones opinion is totally useless at all.

Exactly - rumours. You shouldn't believe any kind of rumour spread that insults a member of the community or staff. Rumours are spread about staff often and have a negative effect on our ability to do our jobs - and guess what? Almost 90% of the time, these rumours are total rubbish.

Keep on your first-hand experiences - I'm interested to hear what these first-hand experiences were that make her un-suitable for staff, please detail them for me (I'm on Skype).

You're not paying attention to what I'm saying - stating that Dusk isn't suitable is useless, as nobody is actually providing any details why. Simply stating something doesn't help at all.

What annoyed me is you posting everywhere who's Rhia?
